Wukong was a much bigger hit in China.
And yet it was number 1 in USA/Canada and EU on PSN in August and number 5 in September.

It sold more than Madden, CF25 and SW Outlaws in August.

What's with the constant downplaying of this game on PS5? It hurts you that Steam is not getting all the attention?

BUT CHINA!! everytime this is so fucking annoying. It's selling big numbers on PS5 too. Cope.

Big numbers on PS5 but a way higher percentage on PC in China.

I'm starting to hate this forum...

Look at the circana charts and international charts for GT7 before the movie hit netflix last December and immediately afterward...
No worries sometimes I can't stand here either so I stay away 😉

But no the movie had nothing to do with anything. Spec 2 was launched last November and that correlates with what you're conflating with the Netflix release lol.

Future More Netflix only got the rights to the movie for North America and HBO (MAX) got the rights worldwide and the movie didn't do big numbers on either platform 🤔.

PD said Spec II near doubled GT7 active numbers…

We just released the Spec II update and the number of active users jumped up to double what it was before that

I have no ideia why people are even talking about the movie… the movie released in August… Spec II rise of players after November.

The lack of new tentpole releases will bump evergreen titles like GT7. Sony has quite a few.

GT7 and Ragnarok consistently chart.
